Martin to Take Spring Sabbatical

Harold C. Martin, Director of General Education A, will take a sabbatical this spring to "shut my office door and go into the Widener stacks," he disclosed yesterday.

Martin will turn over the duties of his office to Edwin H. Sauer, Lecturer on Education in the Graduate School of Education. When asked whether Sauer's assignment meant he might eventually become Director of General Education A, Martin replied, "the choice of Sauer is not necessarily a portent."

"Sabbatical requires that you find your own replacement in order to leave," he continued, "and I arranged for Sauer to be put on half-time teaching duty for the spring term so he could run the office."

Currently instructing Graduate School of Education students for their Masters degrees, Sauer is also familiar with college English teaching.

There is a possibility, Martin remarked, that Sauer will be brought into the College full-time next year, to lecture in some lower level General Education course, such as Hum 3.
